	Six Critics Review Walter Wink's The Human Being: Jesus and the Enigma of the Son of Man
		Wink’s objective in this volume is to recover the true meaning of the humanity of Jesus, which was to a large extent appreciated by the Jesus’ movement and by the earliest Christian church, but was eclipsed already by the mid-second century when the church became preoccupied with the question of the divinity of Jesus.
		Wink’s approach to this issue is in the spirit of trying to disclose the original truths of Christianity and express them in modes that speak to interested folk in our day, in a manner that will feed both our quest for self understanding and for transcendental insights.
		Wink thinks the center of that issue is a new way of thinking about what it means to be a human being before the face of God, the thing Jesus intended to convey by his self-designation as The Son of The Man. The crucial thing about Jesus is not his divinity but his humanness.

	Alan F. Segal's REVIEW AND APPRECIATION of Walter Wink's The Human Being, Jesus and the Enigma of the Son of Man
		Wink is using the historical record to display and expose his theology of Christianity.
		In some sense then, Wink’s book is not one that attempts to resolve the issue of the historical Jesus and the Son of Man. It is a book that uses the Jungian analytic model to sidestep the entire historical question.
		Wink is therefore breathing new life into this symbol, a life that goes beyond its original meaning in its original context.
